I can confirm that this also happens on our PressCrew forum (http://community.presscrew.com/discussions). The forum is available for logged out users and us (the admins) but mods, participants are getting 404s. From the forum index to single topics/forums.

Update: We tried reverting to BBPress 2.2 or 2.2-rc2 but we’re not getting anywhere. Forums keep giving 404s for logged in users. Updating permalinks, using the forum repair tools and clearing every single type of cache does not help either.

I can’t seem to register for an account to have a closer look, can you set me up an account and I will have a look around. I just followed you on Twitter so you should be able to follow me back @netweb and send login details via a DM with Twitter.

I suspect the source is located in the X-Profile of Buddypress and Role Users
This could be a power failure occurs.
With my above can solve the problem, but it is extremely dangerous with large database

Someone highly qualified to study this problem one seriously, it is a great help.

I actually dont have any problems with bbpress but I wish in next versions there is a choise for seperate blockes for different categories.
Also, is there a way for forums to have theme like group forums?
Thanks a lot

So I got a little further. In “User Role Editor -> Custom capabilities” the new forum capabilities shows up. If you enable them in the other WP roles the 404 error is gone and everyone can write like normal.

However, even though I enabled “edit_topics” and “edit_replys”, nobody can edit but admin. Deleting does not work either.

I hope there will be some core changes to make this work. I have several plugins that creates their own roles and capabilities and they all work fine with User Role Editor and each other. bbPress should too.

@steilenhang – ironically, the issue you describe is with those role plugins, and WordPress core, not with bbPress directly.

It comes from the use of WP_User::set_role() which ends up nuking bbPress’s roles. That said, bbPress 2.2.3 also has support for mapping to custom WordPress blog roles, so there shouldn’t be anything “broken” there.

If there is, I’d love to see some specific steps to duplicate the circumstances so I can improve what I can in bbPress.

Hello. I understand that this release was meant to introduce bbPress topics/replies showing on BuddyPress activity amongst other things, but that’s not working for us. I have deactivated buddypress forum component and instead I’m using bbPress “let groups have their own forums” option, but the activiy does not show topics or replies.

1) When my users are logged in they they get the following message “We’re Sorry But That Page Could Not Be Found”

However when I’m logged in as admin (keymaster) I can see the entire forum & topics. This is also for those who are not logged in.

2) The other issue I am having is I did a fresh install of the latest version on bbPress, but now the option to create new Forums & Topics is gone from the admin side bar located in the admin side of the site. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling more than once.
